I used "crowdstrike" as a verb at work today, to paraphrase: "CI is broken because github crowdstruck us with a bad rust compiler update". AKA: usable any time an automatic update from a vendor breaks your infrastructure.

All I'm saying is, if they didn't want this neologism, they shouldn't have ruined my flight home from Italy.

@cjust A fine usage of it as a noun. So we've got two compatible definitions for two parts of speech :) Excellent.

@overeducatedredneck it's still very funny to me that that happened during the Warframe convention about the big Y2K-themed story update that's coming later this year

@overeducatedredneck @jpgoldberg AWS crowdstruck us on Wednesday when they failed over IAM to another region and our SCP restricting regions somehow blocked it, we couldn’t open support cases for an hour during an incident.

@overeducatedredneck I'd say node.js probably wins as far as occurrences of such maladies in the form of cascading failures in recent years but "crowdstruck" does seem a bit more meaningful than "noded". ;)

@overeducatedredneck Haha!! We use that at work too - “don’t merge the code on a Friday afternoon, we don’t want to be crowdstrucken“ !!

@overeducatedredneck we used to have a verb "to steinbag," after a european dude, Stein Bagger, who fucked a big-money contracting company.

Friends of mine got steinbagged.

@overeducatedredneck

when an automated update crowdstrikes your computer it has a cloud stroke
